Crowds of beachgoers were at Saltburn today as the good weather shone across the region.

Highs of up to 17 degrees were reported to hit Teesside but there was still a slight chill in the air, meaning it was more about the hot drinks rather than ice cream for those at the beach.

Despite the cold breeze it didn’t stop surfers from tackling the waves in the freezing North Sea and families that were building sandcastles or walking their dogs made sure they were at least wearing a jacket.

The sun is set to continue for the rest of the weekend too, with highs of up to 18 degrees set to hit the region on Sunday afternoon.
